FADE OUT
INT.
(The DEBATE HOST is talking to the public. JOHN KEELER
and DAVID PALMER are waiting backstage.)
DEBATE HOST: Good
evening to those of you on the east coast and good afternoon to those of you in
the west. Welcome to the first of three debates between President David Palmer
and Senator John Keeler. We'll begin tonight with a two minute opening
statement followed by the first question, which will go to President David
Palmer, which was decided by a coin flip backstage just moments ago…
(ANNE and DAVID PALMER are standing backstage.)
ANNE: How are you
feeling?
DAVID PALMER: Is
that a medical question, or a personal one?
ANNE: Both.
DAVID PALMER: I'm
fine.
DEBATE HOST:… and
will be conducted within the formats and rules agreed to by each member of the
debate, and by the two campaigns. Now we'll bring to the stage the candidates,
ladies and gentlemen, Senator John Keeler.
(The crowd applauds. JOHN KEELER walks onto the
stage.)
ANNE: David I'm sorry
you have to deal with my ex husband's lies.
DAVID PALMER: It's
all right; we have the truth on our side.
DEBATE HOST:
Ladies and Gentlemen, President David Palmer.
(The crowd applauds. DAVID PALMER kisses ANNE on her
forehead and walks onto the stage. He waves to the crowd, shakes JOHN KEELER'S
hand and walks to his stand.)
DAVID PALMER:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Senator Keeler, good evening. I'm looking forward to
discussing some of the critical issues…
INT.
(All of the prisoners are out of there cells and are
rioting. JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR are running down a hallway.)
JACK BAUER: Ok,
when I tell you to, you start fighting with me over the gun. I've gotta try and
pull two guards off the main corridor.
(JACK BAUER removes RAMONSSALAZAR'S handcuffs. He sees
some guard running down the corridor.)
JACK BAUER: Ok,
they're coming.
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR fight for the gun.)
JACK BAUER: Help!
Help! Help!
RAMON SALAZAR:
Now!
(Two guards come running towards them. JACK BAUER and
RAMON SALAZAR stop fighting. They wrestle the guards to the floor. RAMON
SALAZAR continues to beat one of them with a truncheon.)
JACK BAUER: That's
enough! That's enough! Put on his uniform and helmet now.
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR start undressing the
guards.)
INT.
(WARDEN MITCHELL is briefing his men.)
WARDEN MITCHELL:
Split up your men, I want a team at every security post.
CHASE EDMUNDS: No,
Jack and Salazar are somewhere in East Block, you need to put your men over
there.
WARDEN MITCHELL:
I've got to control this prison; your partner's not my only problem.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Warden, today he is. He and Salazar need to be contained and they need to be
kept alive.
WARDEN MITCHELL:
You want me to re-deploy my men? Then I need to know how real this terrorist
threat is.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Come here.
(CHASE EDMUNDS leads WARDEN MITCHELL into a corner of
the room.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Ramon Salazar's brother will spread a deadly virus into the population unless
we release him unharmed. If we don't, the death toll will be in the hundreds of
thousands.
WARDEN MITCHELL (into his radio): This is Warden
Mitchell, Tactical Unit Five report to control center. You are now under the
command of Agent Edmunds.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Thank
you.
(CHASE EDMUNDS' mobile phone rings. He picks up.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Yeah?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Chase it's Michelle, what the hell is going on over
there?
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Jack tried to break Salazar out of prison, he started a riot.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
What?
CHASE EDMUNDS: I
think in his own twisted way he thinks he's going to deliver him to Hector and
stop the virus from being released.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Well, he's going to get himself killed, not to mention Salazar.
CHASE EDMUNDS: I
know, I know. I'm trying to protect him. What about Kyle Singer?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
We're getting close to locating him.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Michelle, as soon as you do, call me. If Jack knows
we've got the carrier of the virus, he'll give Salazar back.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
We've got everyone working on it Chase. We'll find him.
CHASE EDMUNDS: Ok.
INT. WAREHOUSE IN LOS ANGELES
(KYLE SINGER and LINDA are locked in an airproof
chamber.)
KYLE SINGER: I'm
sorry Linda. (Pause) Linda?
LINDA: Are we
gonna die?
KYLE SINGER: It
depends… if they find us in time.
LINDA: What do you
mean?
KYLE SINGER: The
guy from the government, he told my dad that I had a couple more hours before
I… before I become contagious. Maybe they'll find us by then. You'll be ok.
LINDA: Yeah,
maybe.
(KYLE SINGER stands up on a chair and starts pulling
on the pipes on the ceiling of the chamber.)
LINDA: What are
you doing?
KYLE SINGER: There
must be some wires in here.
LINDA: What do you
need wire for?
KYLE SINGER: Get
you out of this.
INT. CTU - MAIN FLOOR
(KIM BAUER is working on her computer. Some images
come up on the screen.)
KIM BAUER: Adam,
look at this. Got it from a CalTrans server. Traffic camera, right near the mall. Look at that, it's a
blue shirt, isn't that what Kyle Singer was wearing?
ADAM: Yeah. I
think there's enough to enhance, release it to my screen.
KIM BAUER: Got it.
(MICHELLE DESSLER walks up to KIM BAUER'S desk.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Kim?
KIM BAUER: Yes?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
I need you a second.
KIM BAUER (to ADAM): You got this?
ADAM: Yeah.
KIM BAUER: Alright.
(KIM BAUER gets up and walks over to MICHELLE
DESSLER.)
KIM BAUER: Is
something wrong?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
You haven't been following what's going on at the prison have you?
KIM BAUER: No,
Adam and I have been working on finding Singer. Why? What is it?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Your dad's trying to break our Salazar.
KIM BAUER: What?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Yeah, he's not out yet but he's acting on his own authority. He's trying to
remove Salazar by force.
KIM BAUER: I don't
understand what you mean by force.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Looks like he started a prison riot to cover the escape.
KIM BAUER: Why is
he doing this?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
That's what we're trying to figure out. When's the last time you heard from
him?
KIM BAUER: About a
half hour ago. He asked me to issue a transfer order for Ramon Salazar and he
gave me a password.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
And you did it?
KIM BAUER: Yeah,
he said that Salazar needed to be moved. But now you're telling me this isn't
true?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
No Kim, I'm sorry, your dad lied to you.
KIM BAUER: Why
would he do that?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
'Cos he knew if he asked anybody else, they would know he was violating
protocol.
KIM BAUER: What's
gonna happen to him?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
We're gonna try to find him. The best way out of this whole situation is to
find Kyle Singer, then your dad 'll give up Salazar. So go back to work help
Adam.
KIM BAUER: Yeah,
sure.
(MICHELLE DESSLER walks away.)
INT.
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR are dressed in the
Tactical Unit suit. JACK BAUER looks around a corner.)
JACK BAUER: Clear.
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR run down a corridor.)
JACK BAUER:
They're gonna funnel all their forces through one entrance to keep the
personnel count.
RAMON SALAZAR:
There must be another way Jack.
JACK BAUER: There
is but the prisoners are taking control. We're going to have to fight our way
through them. Get ready.
(JACK BAUER runs up to a prisoner and hits him with
his truncheon. All of the other prisoners swarm around him and beat him and
RAMON SALAZAR to the ground.)
RIOT LEADER: Pick
them up! Come on! Come on, get them on their feet. Come on, let's go! Move it!
Move it!
(The group of prisoners run past CHASE EDMUNDS and his
Tactical Unit. CHASE EDMUNDS shoots at the RIOT LEADER but misses. The RIOT
LEADER shoots back and then runs for cover with the rest of the prisoners
behind a wall.)
RIOT LEADER: Hold
your fire! We got hostages, so back off!
CHASE EDMUNDS (to his men): Hold your fire!
(The RIOT LEADER, JACK BAUER, RAMON SALAZAR and the
rest of the prisoners run past CHASE EDMUNDS and his tactical group.)
RIOT LEADER: Go!
Move it! Move it!
(CHASE EDMUNDS realises that one of the hostages is
JACK BAUER and lowers his gun. The prisoners then run through the corridor)
(The 24 timer comes up, and goes from
INT. CTU - MAIN FLOOR
(KIM BAUER is working on her computer. ADAM is stood
next to her, looking at a file.)
ADAM: Kim, did you
send me that Calman filter?
KIM BAUER: What?
ADAM: Calman
filter. I needed to clean up that image.
KIM BAUER: Oh
shoot, I forgot about it, it's in my outbox.
ADAM: How can you
forget, it's the only thing you're working on?
KIM BAUER: I'm
sorry, look, I'm sending it to you right now. Done.
ADAM: Kim, I don't
know where your head is at, but we need to find Kyle Singer before he's
contagious.
KIM BAUER: Relax,
I'm doing the best I can.
ADAM: The best I
can isn't what we do around here Kim. It's either done, or it's not.
KIM BAUER: So why
are you lecturing me, it's in your system.
(ADAM'S phone rings. He walks over to his desk and
picks up.)
ADAM: Kaufman.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Is there a problem?
ADAM: I just need
to make sure things are running smoothly around here…
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Look, Adam, I haven't had a chance to brief you but, Jack's created a situation
over at the prison.
ADAM: What kind of
situation?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
He started a riot to free Salazar, now they're caught up in the middle of it.
ADAM: Woah!
MICHELLE DESSLER:
He even used Kim to create a transfer order that started the whole thing so
just cut her a little slack .
ADAM: Um, yeah ok,
I understand.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
We're all under a lot of pressure here, so let's just find Kyle Singer before
it's too late.
ADAM: Yeah ok,
thanks Michelle.
(They both hang up.)
INT. WAREHOUSE IN LOS ANGELES
(KYLE SINGER is fiddling with some wires attached to
the ceiling of the chamber.)
LINDA: Kyle, what
are you doing, there is no way out of here.
KYLE SINGER: You
don't deserve what happened. I do. If I die, the virus is dying with me.
(KYLE SINGER pulls a noose he had made from the wires
around his neck and kicks back the chair he was standing on, hanging himself.)
LINDA: Kyle!
(LINDA pulls the chair up and pushes it under him.)
LINDA: Kyle, put
your feet up here! Kyle! Kyle, hold on!
(LINDA climbs onto the chair and grabs a hold of the
pipes on the ceiling. She kicks the chair away and dangles from them. They
start to come loose and then fall to the ground. KYLE SINGER and LINDA also
fall. KYLE SINGER starts coughing and LINDA removes the noose from his neck.)
LINDA: Oh Kyle!
INT. NORTERN
(People are setting up a homecoming party for RAMON
SALAZAR. HECTOR SALAZAR watches them work. CLAUDIA walks up to him.)
CLAUDIA: A welcome
home party? You shouldn't be doing this.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
What are you talking about?
CLAUDIA: You've
been running things. Show Ramon you're going to be his partner, not his
caterer.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Why do you care? You don't want to be involved in my business.
CLAUDIA: No puppy,
I care about you. And I want you to get what you've earned.
(CLAUDIA walks away. HECTOR SALAZAR'S mobile phone
rings.)
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Yes?
GAEL: It's me. The
riot's still going on.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
But we know that Ramon's alive.
GAEL: Yeah, but
Bauer's got to get him out soon. CTU's getting close to finding Kyle Singer and
if they do, they'll never let Ramon go.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Then make sure they don't find Singer.
GAEL: I'm working
on it.
HECTOR SALAZAR:
Get it done.
(GAEL hangs up.)
INT. CTU - MAIN FLOOR
(KIM BAUER is working on her computer, enhancing an
image. The enhanced image reveals KYLE SINGER sitting in the back of a van.)
KIM BAUER: That's
him, that's Singer.
ADAM (looking at the image): Is that a gun?
(KIM BAUER enhances the image.)
KIM BAUER: Yeah.
Someone's got him.
ADAM: We're not
going to be able to get the truck's licence plate from this shot.
KIM BAUER: I'll
get access to the traffic cameras in the direction they're heading, see if we
can find them again.
(ADAM picks up his
phone and dials a number.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Dessler.
ADAM: Michelle,
we've found Kyle Singer being driven away from the mall forty seven minutes
ago.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Are you working up a vehicle ID?
ADAM: We will as
soon as we're able to get another visual.
INT.
(CHASE EDMUNDS and WARDEN MITCHELL are looking at some
CCTV footage.)
WARDEN MTICHELL:
This camera's damaged but functional.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
They must have the hostages on the right. Try and pan the camera over.
WARDEN MTICHELL:
They may see the camera move.
CHASE EDMUNDS: We
don't have a choice. (to a PRISON GUARD)
Do it.
(The camera turns to the left and CHASE EDMUNDS and
WARDEN MITCHELL can see JACK BAUER and some other hostages lined up against a
wall.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
There they are.
(The RIOT LEADER sees the camera move and shoots it.
The image turns back.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
We've got to get in there before they start killing everyone.
INT.
(The laundry room has been taken over by the
prisoners. They are barricading themselves in. The hostages are lined up
against a wall.)
PRISONER: Let’s
start wasting the guards unless they let us walk.
RIOT LEADER: First
step outside, bam, head shot from a sniper.
PRISONER: You
don't now that.
RIOT LEADER: I
know 'cos that's what went down in Gino. They'll let the guards get wasted 'cos
all they care about is keeping us in.
PRISONER: What the
hell are we doing here then?
RIOT LEADER: Give
me your gun.
(A prisoner hands his gun to the RIOT LEADER.)
RIOT LEADER: Bring
them over here. We're going to have a little fun with them. Put them on their
knees.
(The hostages are brought down to one end of the
room.)
RIOT LEADER (to the hostages): Who wants to live?
(The RIOT LEADER shoots one of the hostages.)
RIOT LEADER: Ok, let’s
try it again. Who wants to leave?
PRISON OFFICER:
Me.
RIOT LEADER: Him,
over here.
(The PRISON OFFICER is dragged to a table and pushed
down onto a chair.)
RIOT LEADER: Who
else? (to JACK BAUER) I ain't never
seen you before.
JACK BAUER: I'm
new here.
RIOT LEADER (to prisoners): Him, over here.
(JCAK BAUER is
dragged to the table and pushed down onto a chair. The RIOT LEADER places one
bullet the gun chamber, spins it and places it on the table.)
RIOT LEADER: One
in six chance. (to the PRISON OFFICER):
You first.
PRISON OFFICER:
Please, don't make me do this.
RIOT LEADER:
There's nothing to it you little bitch. Just put the gun to your head and…
PRISON OFFICER: I
can't… I can't.
(The RIOT LEADER grabs the PRISON OFFICER by the face.)
RIOT LEADER:
You're gonna do it, you hear me? You're gonna do it.
PRISON OFFICER:
Please, please.
RIOT LEADER: It's
easy, see. All you gotta do is smile, then pull the trigger.
(The RIOT LEADER puts the gun to his head and pulls
the trigger. The gun doesn't go off. The other prisoners cheer.)
RIOT LEADER: Now
it's one in five. (Pause) Let's go!
(The RIOT LEADER forces the PRISON OFFICER to take the
gun. He lifts it to his temple and then drops it back down on the table.)
PRISON OFFICER (in tears): No, no, I can't!
(The RIOT LEADER slams his fists into the table.)
RIOT LEADER: This
is a waste of my time. Shoot him.
JACK BAUER: No
wait!
RIOT LEADER: Shoot
him!
JACK BAUER (to the PRISON GUARD): Come on man, just
do it. This way at least you got a chance ok? Do it.
RIOT LEADER: Come
on! If you don't do it, we will.
(The PRISON OFFICER, trembling, pushes the gun against
his temple and pulls the trigger. A bullet is released from the gun and buries
itself in his head. He falls to the ground, dead. The prisoners cheer.)
RIOT LEADER: We
have a winner; let's hear it for the new guy.
(The prisoners cheer.)
(The 24 timer comes up, and goes from
INT. CTU - MAIN FLOOR
(KIM BAUER is working on her computer.)
KIM BAUER: I've
got a shot coming in from a camera at the next intersection, definitely the
same truck.
ADAM: Can you read
the licence plate?
KIM BAUER: We
won't be able to read anything until it finishes downloading.
ADAM: I just saw
the IAD inquiry come in over the system about what your father's doing at the
prison. They're questioning the transfer order you generated for him.
KIM BAUER: I
heard.
ADAM: If you want
me to say that you didn't know he was going to use it to break out Salazar, I
will.
KIM BAUER: Thanks,
I'll be ok. Hold on, it's stopped downloading, I'm getting an error message.
ADAM: Error 402,
that means trouble with an internal router.
INT. CTU - ITS ROOM
(GAEL is manipulating a router and watching KIM BAUER
at her desk on the monitor. KIM BAUER leaves her desk and walks into the ITS
room. )
KIM BAUER: Gael?
What are you doing?
GAEL: There's a
problem with one of the routers. I'm trying to fix it.
KIM BAUER: Why
don't you call a tech?
GAEL: No, it's ok,
I think I've found the problem. Check the circuit's kicked in. Must have been a
line surge. Should be up and running now. Let me know if you have any more
problems.
KIM BAUER: I will.
(KIM BAUER back onto the MAIN FLOOR.)
ADAM: Hey, it's
back up, what was it?
KIM BAUER: I'm not
sure. Is it possible a line surge could have knocked out a router?
ADAM: Not from my
side, you could ask Chloe.
(They walk back to their desks and ADAM types at his
computer. He pulls up the licence plate of the van.)
ADAM: Got it.
(ADAM picks up his phone and dials a number.)
MICHELLE DESSLER (to someone on another line): Hold on. (to ADAM) Dessler.
ADAM: Michelle,
I've got a plate on the pick-up.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Good, where do you last have it.
ADAM: The shot's
in the north part into Setterface Springs, it was driving west.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Ok, I want you to put this out to mobile units LAPD. I want everyone looking
for this vehicle.
ADAM: Ok, right.
(MICHELLE DESSLER presses a few buttons on her phone.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Alright Ryan, I'm back.
RYAN CHAPELLE: So
do you have any idea his Bauer is trying to break out Salazar on his own or if
he's working with someone.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
I'm trying to figure that out now. I'll get back to you when I find out.
RYAN CHAPELLE: You
do that.
(MICHELLE DESSLER hangs up. She then presses a few keys
on her computer and Chloe comes up on her screen.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Chloe?
CHLOE O'BRIAN:
Yeah Michelle?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
You following what's going on at the prison?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: I
just saw the update come over. What the hell's happening?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
We don't have all the details yet but Jack's behind it. I need you to check his
phone logs, e-mail, see what case files he's accessed recently.
CHLOE O'BRIAN:
What am I looking for?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Anything that will help us figure out why he's doing this.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: Are
you sure you really want me snooping in his office?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Yes.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: You
got it.
MICHELLE DESSLER
closes the conversation. She then picks up the phone and dials a number.)
NURSE: Surgery.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Yeah, this is Tony Almeida's wife Michelle. How's he doing?
NURSE: Uh, I'll
check. One moment please.
(Pause.)
NURSE: Mrs

MICHELLE DESSLER:

in surgery. You'll be contacted as soon as he's rolled into recovery.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Oh, what room is he in?
NURSE: Um,

MICHELLE DESSLER:
Yeah Evan, it's Michelle. Do you know if we get O.R. feeds from Good Samaritan?
EVAN: Let me check
it. (Pause) Uh, yeah they do, what do
you need?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
See if they're video-docking O.R. 4.
EVAN: Yeah they
are. Where do you want it?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Send it to my desktop.
EVAN: Alright. It'll
take a second. There you go. Anything else?
MICHELLE DESSLER:

sir.
(The OFFICER hands CHASE EDMUNDS a gun.)
OFFICER: Sir,
we're ready for you. Put this on.
(The OFFICER hands CHASE EDMUNDS a headset and tests a
fibre optic camera.)
OFFICER: Monitor's
up, you should be seeing it on your eyepiece.
CHASE EDMUNDS: It's
working.

Radio silence while we're in there. If they hear us, they might kill everyone.
Let's go.

tunnel.)
INT.
(JACK BAUER is still sat down at the table.)
RIOT LEADER:
Alright, round two!
(The other prisoners cheer. The RIOT LEADER walks up
to RAMON SALAZAR..)
RIOT LEADER: And
you.
RAMON SALAZAR: I'm
a prisoner, not a guard. Ramon Salazar, I'm sure you've heard of me.
(RAMON SALAZAR is dragged to the table and pushed down
onto a chair.)
JACK BAUER: You
should pick someone else, he's telling you the truth. He was just transferred
to the cell block less than a week ago. I'm a federal agent, I was escorting
him out of the prison. That's why you've never seen us here before.
RIOT LEADER: Good,
a federal agent. What's your name?
JACK BAUER: Jack
Bauer.
RIOT LEADER:
Alright, it's gonna be Agent Jack against Ramon Salazar. A battle to the
finish!
(The prisoners cheer. Meanwhile, CHASE EDMUNDS is using
the fibre optic camera to observe what is going on in the room.)
RIOT LEADER: Come
on Jack, show this foreigner how it's done.
(JACK BAUER takes the gun, places it against his
temple and pulls the trigger. The gun doesn't go off. The prisoners cheer. The
RIOT LEADER slides the gun across the table to RAMON SALAZAR.)
RAMON SALAZAR: If
I die, my brother will find you.
RIOT LEADER: Shut
up! Do it! Do it! (the other prisoners
start chanting) Do it! Do it! Do it!
(RAMON SALAZAR places the gun against his temple and
pulls the trigger. The gun doesn't go off. The prisoners cheer. Meanwhile, on
the other side of the wall, in the maintenance tunnel, CHASE EDMUNDS is placing
an explosive against the wall.)
RIOT LEADER (to JACK BAUER): Alright, you're up.
It's your second chance for the title Jack.
(The prisoners start chanting again. JACK BAUER spots
the fibre optic camera peering through a ventilation shaft. He takes the gun
and shoots the RIOT LEADER. CHASE EDMUNDS then detonates the explosives and him
and his team burst through the wall and start firing.)
JACK BAUER: Ramon,
stay down!
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR mange to crawl away
while CHASE EDMUNDS and his team try and take out the prisoners.)
CHASE EDMUNSD: All
clear, hold your fire. Jack? Jack?
(The 24 timer comes up, and goes from
INT. CTU - FIRST FLOOR - JACK BAUER'S OFFICE
(CHLOE O'BRIAN is looking through JACK BAUER'S files.
She then walks over to his bin and looks through it. She finds an empty vial
and syringe.)
CHLOE O'BRIAN: Oh
god.
(CHLOE O'BRIAN walks over to the phone and dials a
number.)
LAB TECHNICIAN:
Lab.
CHLOE O'BRIAN:
This is Chloe O'Brian, I'm in Jack's office. Could you send someone up with a
drug kit please?
LAB TECHNICIAN:
He's on his way.
(CHLOE O'BRIAN hangs up.)
INT.
(DAVID PALMER and JOHN KEELER are still debating.)
JOHN KEELER: The
differences on the issues are clear, but I believe you don't elect a platform,
you elect a man, and I am frankly troubled by some of the personal choices that
this president has made, and continues to make. We're all aware of the
allegations and enditements surrounding the President's former wife. Most of us
have operated on the assumption that the President would not repeat his history
of associating with persons of questionable moral character. However, my office
has just learned that the woman with whom the President is currently involved,
Doctor Anne Packard, is being accused of helping to fabricate the results of a
clinical drug trial. A trial which later lead to the deaths of three innocent
people.
DAVID PALMER: This
is outrageous. This debate is not a court of law, nor is it a tabloid paper.
This is neither the time, nor the place to a personal attack on a private
citizen.
DEBATE HOST: Mr
President, the Senator still has thirty more seconds, sir please…
JOHN KEELER: This
is exactly the right time because I believe the choices your leaders make in
their own lives reflect the choices that they will make on your behalf. And so
the question remains, did the President know of these accusations and choose to
ignore them, or is he repeating past mistakes once again?
DEBATE HOST: Mr
President?
DAVID PALMER: I
can tell you with complete confidence that the Senators accusation is false and
I believe that it is the Senator's way of avoiding the issues at hand. Now I
came here tonight to discuss the real issues pressing our country…
(Meanwhile
backstage, ANNE and WAYNE PALMER are watching the debate on television.)
ANNE: Oh god.
WAYNE PALMER: Now
do you get it?
JOHN KEELER: I do
not believe this is something to be swept under the rug and forgotten.
INT. CTU - FIRST
FLOOR - JACK BAUER'S OFFICE
(A LAB TECHNICIAN is testing the vial found in JACK
BAUER'S bin. CHLOE O'BRIAN watches him, distraught.)
LAB TECHNICIAN:
It's positive.
CHLOE O'BRIAN:
I'll go tell Michelle.
(CHLOE O'BRIAN gathers up some files and starts to
leave. KIM BAUER walks up to her.)
KIM BAUER: Chloe,
what are you doing in my dad's office?
CHLOE O'BRIAN:
Michelle wanted me to go through your dad's stuff.
KIM BAUER: Why?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: To
find anything that could help us understand what he's doing. What's up?
KIM BAUER: I
wanted to know if a line surge could shut down a router on your side of the ITS
room.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: No,
my server protectors are upstairs, not in ITS. Why?
KIM BAUER: Uh,
it's probably nothing.
(KIM BAUER starts to walk away. She stops and turns around.)
KIM BAUER: Did you
find anything?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: I
can't talk about this.
KIM BAUER: Why
not, maybe I could help.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: You
can't help so just go, ok?
KIM BAUER: What's
in the box?
CHLOE O'BRIAN:
Just stuff I'm taking to Michelle. This is really inappropriate behaviour Kim.
KIM BAUER: Why are
you doing this Chloe, I mean, I'm just trying to help you.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: You
can't help, and I don't have to have this conversation. Under Field Ops mandate
there's a regulation, I believe it's 40 or 41 that says that I have
jurisdictional prerogative, so can you just leave.
KIM BAUER: Not
until you tell me what's in the box.
CHLOE O'BRIAN: I
think your dad's been using drugs.
KIM BAUER: What?
CHLOE O'BRIAN:
That's right.
(CHLOE O'BRIAN hands KIM BAUER several items from the
box.)
CHLOE O'BRIAN: A
rubber tourniquet, syringe, we just had the vials tested for opiates. It was
positive. And he's been acting really weird, ok? It's really not fair that you
made me do this. This is very uncomfortable.
(CHLOE O'BRIAN leaves the room and walks downstairs to
MICHELLE DESSLER.)
CHLOE O'BRIAN:
Michelle? I didn't find anything in Jack's records but there's something you
need to see.
(CHLOE O'BRIAN shows MICHELLE DESSLER the syringe,
tourniquet and vials.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
You found this in his office?
CHLOE O'BRIAN: I
wanted to make sure I knew what it was before I showed you, the liquid in these
vials tested positive for opiates, probably heroin. I think Jack's a user.
(ADAM is on the
phone at his desk. He hangs up.)
ADAM: I got it. A
patrol car just found the truck Kyle Singer was in parked at an industrial
complex at Fuller and
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Pipe this in to the teams on standby. Assume everyone on site is contagious and
use Level One CDC protocol. Let's get 'em!
INT.
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR approach a door leading
outside, where many SWAT teams are grouped.)
RAMON SALAZAR:
Damn, is there any other way out?
JACK BAUER: No,
we're pinned in.
RAMON SALAZAR: You
must have known this could happen. What's the plan Jack?
JACK BAUER: Give
me the shotgun.
(RAMON SALAZAR doesn't give JACK BAUER the weapon.)
JACK BAUER: Give
me the shotgun.
(RAMON SALAZAR hands JACK BAUER the shotgun.)
JACK BAUER: Take
off your uniform.
(The 24 timer comes up, and goes from
INT. CTU - MAIN FLOOR - MICHELLE DESSLER'S DESK
(The phone rings. MICHELLE DESSLER picks up.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Dessler.
SWAT TEAM MEMBER:
This is Calguild, we're approaching the industrial complex on Fuller. There are
three warehouses on the property.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
I'll see if we can narrow it down with infrared.
SWAT TEAM MEMBER:
Roger.
(MICHELLE DESSLER hangs up and dials another number.)
ADAM: Kaufman.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Adam, see if you can pull up infrared satellite on the industrial complex.
ADAM: Alright.
(ADAM hangs up.)
ADAM: Kim, log on
to the NHS server, we need to see if they have any satellites in position. (Pause) Kim?
KIM BAUER: Ok.
(KIM BAUER wipes tears from her eyes.)
ADAM: What's the
matter?
KIM BAUER:
Nothing, I'm fine.
EXT.
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR have removed the
uniforms. CHASE EDMUNDS walks out of the holding facility and up to the SWAT
team.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: We
just swept the east block, there's no sign of Jack or Salazar.
WARDEN MITCHELL:
I've got a team in the cell block but they can't do a proper search until we
lock it down; that could take up to a half hour.
JACK BAUER: You
wanna get out of this thing, you're gonna have to trust me, and do everything
that I tell you. You understand?
(Back inside.)
RAMON SALAZAR: Alright.
JACK BAUER: Come
on, let's go.
(Outside.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: Ok
listen, this is what I want you to do, I want you to take that chopper and I
want you to sweep the perimeter.
(JACK BAUER walks outside, covering himself behind
RAMON SALAZAR.)
JACK BAUER: Chase!
(All of the police officers outside point their guns
towards JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
What are you doing Jack?
JACK BAUER: You
get these people to move back or you're going to have to take me out. We need
that chopper.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Don't do this, I just spoke with Michelle, we're close to getting Kyle Singer.
JACK BAUER: Close
ain't gonna cut it this time, I gotta deliver Salazar now!
CHASE EDMUNDS: I'm
not letting you go Jack.
JACK BAUER: How
long's it going to take you to find Kyle Singer? A half an hour? An hour? I
gotta get Salazar in the air in that chopper in the next sixty seconds, or a
hundred thousand people will die.
(CHASE EDMUNDS turns around to talk to WARDEN
MITCHELL.)
CHASE EDMUNDS: Let
him go.
WARDEN MITCHELL:
Let him go?
CHASE EDMUNDS: Let
him go. Track the chopper. I need you to keep your people under control Warden.
Please, I can't have anything happen to Salazar.
WARDEN MITCHELL:
Alright. (into radio) This is Warden
Mitchell, I want all teams to stand down, I repeat, stand down. Agent Bauer
will be taking Salazar to the SWAT chopper. I want a confirmation from all
teams on the stand down order. Stand down.
CHASE EDMUNDS (to SWAT TEAM): Let him take the
chopper. Alright, back off. (to JACK BAUER) Alright Jack, no one's going to try
and stop you.
JACK BAUER: Get
these men to back off and holster their weapons.
CHASE EDMUNDS (to his men): Back off! Stand down! Let
him through.
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR edge their way towards
the helicopter.)
JACK BAUER: Get
them to holster their weapons, now!
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Holster your weapons!
JACK BAUER: Lower
your weapons. Get the snipers down off the roofs, now!
CHASE EDMUNDS: Off
the roof, now! Back off! Do what he says!
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR climb into the helicopter.)
INT. WAREHOUSE IN LOS ANGELES
(A SWAT TEAM kicks down the door to the warehouse,
enters and shoots GOMEZ and his DRIVER.)
SWAT TEAM LEADER:
We have Singer plus one, Central, we have Singer plus one.
EXT.
(JACK BAUER and RAMON SALAZAR are siting in the
helicopter. JACK BAUER is fiddling with a box at his feet.)
WARDEN MITCHELL:
What's he doing?
CHASE EDMUNDS:
He's disabled the com and the locator.
(CHASE EDMUNDS' mobile phone rings. He picks up.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Yeah?
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Chase, it's Michelle, we have Kyle Singer.
CHASE EDMUNDS: I
can't hear you.
MICHELLE DESSLER:
We found Kyle Singer.
CHASE EDMUNDS:
They found Kyle?
(The helicopter takes off.)
MICHELLE DESSLER:
Yes.
(CHASE EDMUNDS hangs up and signals to JACK BAUER.)
CHASE EDMUNDS:
Jack, we found Kyle Singer! Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack!
(The helicopter glides away. Inside the helicopter,
RAMON SALAZAR starts laughing.)
RAMON SALAZAR:
Congratulations, now you are an even bigger enemy to your country than I am.
